U2 played a concert for about 10,000 in Berlin.

The people that did not have a ticket were kept from the concert by a

"10' wall."

And obama didn't have time to go to the celebration, guess it wasn't as important as going to Denmark to try and get the Olympics for Chicago.

I enjoyed this historical moment. It was fun to watch the large dominos representing the wall fall down.

Those families that have been seperated have finally reunited 20 years ago. There was alot of happiness floating around on that day in 1989.

Thousands of Germans risked their lives to cross the border for a chance of freedom. 135 Germans were shot down. East German leader Erich Honecker ordered his men to shoot down any German that tried to escape to West Germany in hopes for a better life. This man evaded justice in the end and lived in Chile and died there.

Germany has had a shaky history, but they always find a way to rebound and become a economic powerhouse for the world. Not bad for a country no bigger then Florida.

All I can say is that I hope South and North Korea will one day also fix their differences and have family members reunite again. It doesn't seem to look that way now, but maybe one day they will become as one nation again.

He should have kept his *** here and met with Gen. NcChrystal instead of of going to Denmark, and this is something He SHOULD'VE attended.

What is so great about tearing this Berlin wall ?.
You have Germany in NATO and following the US in both Iraq and Afghanistan . Germany is somehow under the thumbs of the US like the rest of NATO . When you follow a bling later or sooner you will become a blind too......laugh laugh .
